Lyrics

Johnny wanted to be an image on the T.V
Livin' it up in the city
Every night on the town
He threw the dice down
Playin' it up to the crowd
When he sang to the company man
He got better with every line
When it came to the name of the game
Nobody was playing in time
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny always wanted to be a pretender
Signing a deal to forever
Playing all night
But it wouldn't come right
He just couldn't get it together
Shooting up with the rest of the band
In the room of a lost motel
Is it gonna get better tomorrow?
Well, Johnny, you can never tell
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
Johnny, you gotta get streetwise
Sha-la-la-la, la-la
